I really hope that some where along the line me and him are related.

"I began stenciling with mud to put environmentally conscious messages in public spaces. I use mud or earth because it is a fundamental life-giving substance, logical for my messages. Mud stencils are an evolving medium, intended for art and social justice, not corporate advertisement. I am an artist and maker based in Milwaukee Wisconsin I can be reached at jessegraves@gmail.com."

Jeff Wassmann

Prince Otto von Bismarck, 1896

Raoul Hausmann

This artist was part of the Dada movement. I wouldnt say that I am directly inspired by DADA but I do have strong interest in Absurdism.

Mechanical Head [The Spirit of Our Age], assemblage circa 1920

Nadia ILiffe

"Exploring the relationship between ourselves and the technologies we create is the central theme behind Nadia's mixed media artwork. Nadia has travelled extensively while working as as a graphic designer, photographer and sculptor. She now specialises particularly in sculptures that blend reactive metals like titanium or copper with reclaimed objects like antique clocks or old computer parts.

Nadia Iliffe lives and works in London, UK where she continues to create and exhibit her recycled artwork. She also accepts commissions to produce custom recycled artwork or reproduce an existing piece for corporations or museums."

Robert Rauschenberg

'Canyon', 1959

I have actually seen this piece several times in D.C.

Lisa Mei Ling Fong

I really dig how this woman's collection looks very succinct. You can tell that it was her hand making all of her pieces.

[African-American Assemblage Artist, born in 1926]
I like this as an example of use of a window but i would not copy this idea directly.

Wallace Berman

This is one of the artists that I saw work from at the VMFA. I can not post the piece that i saw, but this is an example of a similar work.

Jean Dubuffet

Jardin de Bibi Trompette (Bibi Trompette's Garden), 1955
The Stephen Hahn Family Collection (Partial and Promised Gift)

"A what? An assemblage is a three-dimensional artistic composition made of miscellaneous objects or found materials.

The French artist Jean Dubuffet first used the term assemblage to describe a method of turning found objects into three-dimensional structures.

The debate about what is a collage versus an assemblage also began at that time. Dubuffet referred to his butterfly works as assemblages, though art historians seem to prefer the term collage"

Alex CF

AlexCF: "Hello, my name is Alex. I call my work “cryptozoological pseudoscientific art”, which is a longwinded way of describing what i do, but it is pretty specific. I make items, artifacts and specimens from a past that never happened – the remains of extinct species, scientific discoveries, nefarious characters from ancient continents, relics of mysterious cultures – the things you wish you could find in your grandparents attic, or a secret room in an abandoned house. I have created a fictitious history in which certain rich collectors have spent their lives exploring and discovering, and it is my job to present these items to the public. Each piece has a story, and in time all will connect, and I will release a collected monograph of these items and the tale of their discovery. I take influence from maddening horror, Victorian aesthetic, sci-fi pulp and Darwinian biology."
